Just wait until you strap a custom cooler on the videocard and start getting about any sounds coming from the PC whatsoever.

I've thought about getting one actually, a 7950 at 1100 can get sorta warm.

I think her expression looks more, like, wistful.

I just went from a custom-cooled 6950 (still working, but the digital outputs died, so its being used by the wife) to a 7950, not custom-cooled. Its so loud I'm getting really close to picking up a cooler for it. But I'm waiting for one more generation of card, then I'll do it.

Luckily Gigabyte's Windforce cooler is pretty good and relatively quiet. Much better than the Sapphire 6950 and it's cooler it replaced.

I can do sex. It's just alien sex.


 Here's a fun one, since I've been on an electronics kick recently: Overclocking the Game Boy Color:

I'm surprised how high it goes without locking up! That's pretty awesome.

IF ONLY MY $2300 MONITOR COULD DISPLAY THE REASON THAT I AM LITERALLY UNABLE TO STOP GODDAMN POSTING

 This is probably old reading for people but whatever. Whether you advocate delidding/direct die cooling or not, I found this post on anandtech forums really entertaining in a positive way. The poster is quite meticulous in a very scientific/engineery way.
